Oracle released its first full version of Java yesterday, but developers have reported bugs that can crash virtual machines, corrupt data, and cause errors in applications.

Java Standard Edition 7 (SE7) is the first milestone since Oracle bought Java's creator, Sun, which at the time prompted fears from some community members about the future of Java.

The release includes improved support for dynamic languages, multicore-compatible APIs, and additional networking and security features. Oracle said in a statement it is the culmination of "industry-wide development involving open review, weekly builds and extensive collaboration between Oracle engineers and members of the worldwide Java ecosystem."
